Owner identifies stolen Tundra
One of the businessman’s employees indicates the visible change of the stolen Tundra’s registration number.
– female driver arrested
Last March, Farouk Hamid missed his Toyota Tundra from his yard in Peter’s Hall, East Bank Demerara.
After two months of searching, he got lucky when he noticed the vehicle parked outside a city supermarket.
He called in the police and when they arrived they saw a woman enter the vehicle and drive off.
They immediately confronted the woman who claimed that she had bought the vehicle.
She was however detained along with a male companion as police try to ascertain who stole the $5M vehicle.
Hamid told Kaieteur News that in late March, he left the vehicle at his home and went to work with another car.
When he returned home later that evening, he found his gate open and the Tundra missing.
He reported the matter to the police at Providence and a search was launched.
“Yesterday, one of my employees was around by Nigels’ Supermarket and he saw the vehicle parked there, so we went and get the police,” Hamid told Kaieteur News.
Strangely, except for the licence number GKK 4274, nothing was changed on the vehicle.
The Tundra now bears the registration number GLL 6438. “I found my daughter tie and she bandu inside one of the pockets,” the businessman added.
Additionally, several other distinguishing marks were also readily identifiable.
Kaieteur News understands that the thieves also covered the vehicle’s chasis number with the aim of getting it registered as another vehicle.
Police are also probing a suspected racket that involves the provision of new registration numbers for stolen vehicles.
